It doesn’t matter who wins this presidential election. I’ll be following the results from Ireland, where polls won’t close until 11 p.m. at the earliest, so I have to submit this column before I know who wins anyway. But it really doesn’t matter. In most election cycles, politicians and pundits frame the race for the
